Scenic and Historic Locations / Exhibition Facility
This Western-style building was constructed in 1940 as the Kumagawa Village Office by Ito Takenosuke, who was born in Kumagawa-juku and became the second president of the Itochu Corporation, one of Japan’s largest trading companies. It later housed an agricultural cooperative, but in 1997 became a museum that preserves and displays various documents and objects related to the history of Kumagawa-juku and the Saba Kaido network of trade routes.
